If the bank forecloses, then they--or whomever buys the property at the foreclosure sale or auction--can remove it; once you no longer own the property, you have no right to keep anything, including a mobile home, on it, even if doing so will cause damage or cost you money. Until and unless they foreclose, the bank has no rights over the property.
